Way better construction than the typical waving sprinkler you can find at hardware stores. This thing is hilarious - when you turn it on, it spins REALLY fast and launches water an incredible distance! My yard is small, granted, but it still covers the entire thing. The neighbor kids have a bad habit of playing in my yard and tromping on my flowerbed regardless of how many times I've addressed the issue, so whenever I see them coming now I just turn this sprinkler on and they can't dodge it fast enough. It's the best.
I was expecting a cheaply made sprinkler to fulfill a niche I had at my home but I was surprised when this sprinkler arrived and I tried it out for the first time. After that it has surpassed all expectations that I had. There was more to this than I was expecting. So I am one of those people who just opens something and uses it without reading the instructions. I found out a few things I wasn't expecting just by accident.
First, there are weights underneath the legs that really hold this thing down. That was a nice touch as one of my other sprinklers is so lightweight that I have to be careful when setting down because the curve of the hose can tilt it one way or the other when I am not paying attention. It really sits nicely in the grass.
Second, the nozzles actually adjust. They will rotate to anywhere from a more upright stance (so when the water comes out, it will spray in a more upright direction and therefor spray the water down in a smaller circle) to horizontal (this will give you maximum coverage on the lawn.) I found this out by accident when moving it. What I have tried is to leave one so it will shoot in a more upright direction to give some extra water near the sprinkler and leave the other two in the horizontal direction. It seams to work for me at least.
The one thing that I haven't been able to determine yet is how well it will hold up to my kids. They have ran through this sprinkler only once and I feel confident this will not hold up to a kid falling on it when they slip. The old school all cast yellow? ones can hold up to most anyone. At least they did when I was a kid, but I am sure that this sprinkler will survive a small hit. But lets be honest everyone, it is made of plastic like everything now-a-days is. I wouldn't consider this a negative though.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for this style of sprinkler.
I just finished rereading my review and actually looked at the title of this item..... I really wasn't paying attention when I bought this because both of the things that shocked me about this item are in the description. Oh well. I was just looking for a quick purchase and bought because of price and the picture. I guess reading a bit helps too.

I am surprised at how much I like this sprinkler to be honest. I bought it to replace old and broken sprinklers I’ve had forever, and to water my lawn where I have new seed and erosion blankets. It really does cover a huge area, and it seems to get that whole area pretty soaked over a couple of hours. I love it. We have poor water pressure where we live too and this thing performs amazingly well. The only con - if you consider it a con - is that if you want to move it while it’s watering it’s not like one of those sprinklers where you can wait until it’s not facing you and run up to it and hold the head away while you re-position it. You will get wet because it sprays everywhere all at once. You get the hang of it though since it covers such a large area you can pretty much guess where you need it on the first try. This is definitely going to be the best sprinkler for the kids to enjoy come summer as well. The spray pattern is fantastic for kids.
I really like this little sprinkler and give it 4 1/2 stars for price, ingenuity, broadcast area and ease of use.
Its been 18 years since I bought a sprinkler, mine was the old donut that finally cracked. I think I got my $5 bucks out of it. This one is desgned well because it has little stabilizer wings that keep it from flipping. Its very adjustable with water pressure but it does broadcast a large distance away at full pressure. I also like how you dont have to spin the whole sprinkler to put it on the hose, that might just be a “new to me” thing. I saw one review where the guy said one of the three little black nozzles came off. But then he said it was “just plastic”. It is plastic but thats exactly what I thought it was. I did have to put plumbers tape around where the whirlybird attaches but now its fine. Thats why only 4 1/2 stars.
So far, this sprinkler is great for what we were needing it for. It showers water evenly and we are very pleased with it. We live right next to the beach so we tried staying away from buying a sprinkler with metal. Well this sprinkler is all thick plastic and seems to be built well (:

Description
Rotating Sprinkler, Plastic, Blue
This little guy waters well!! One thing I really liked about it was how quiet it was. I tried a few other sprinklers with adjustable spray heads they just didn’t water evenly and were so noisy. It’s a big deal when you have a whole lawn to water for weeks.
I bought this originally because I had just put down grass seed & wanted something I wouldn’t have to move as much. It goes FAR! I have a reasonably sized front yard & I only had to move it twice to cover my yard & ended up having it water my entire flower bed as well. I was looking at purchasing another sprinkler for my kids to play in this summer & just using this for watering, but I can use it for both. It’s design & lightweight plastic make it safe for little feet & toes to run through. You can’t beat it for the price & even if it were more expensive, it would be well worth it over some of the other sprinklers I’ve looked at. Overall, very pleased with my purchase.
I've been having bad luck with sprinklers lately especially with oscillating sprinklers that stop oscillating. This is a simple sprinkler that works well. The top spins and creates millions of random droplets in a circular pattern and the nozzles can be adjusted to reduce the coverage area. It also has a pass through that allows you to daisy chain additional sprinklers. It's extremely quiet compared to the impulse sprinklers. The arms are weighted so it won't tip over and it really clings to the lawn. I wish it had wheels that would make it easier to move. Unfortunately I have to walk across the wet lawn and lift it up to move it instead of just dragging it to another spot.
This sprinkler works very well. Compared to the traditional sprinkler it covers the ground with water in all areas of its path. I liked it so much I tried to order another one and it was not available through Amazon. I ordered a similar product and it was cheaply made and did not cover the ground as well. While I cannot determine the footage of spray it does a fantastic job. It has saved a huge amount of time watering. I would recommend this product.
I've used it once, for several hours, so far. It does a decent job of even water spread, just don't expect it to create a quick soak. Set it and forget it for a while. The distance is easy to control with water pressure. One drawback relative to the style of sprinkler I was replacing is that you can't approach it to move it while it's on without getting wet. I didn't think of that until I was watching it and decided I wanted to move it.
